Love this quiet Army Corp of Engineer RV Park on the Caloosahatchee River in a rural setting not too far from Ft. Myers. It's great for kayaking. Got to see a crocodile and alligator as well as manatees right near our camp site. It's fun to watch the boats go through the lock. Great fishing off the pier. The facilities are clean. The Boathouse and Tiki Bar restaurant, a great place for drinks and food is only 15 minutes down the road. The only things I would like to see changed is the amount of lighting around the campground and doggy bag stations available and less lighting. The lights are glaring and unnecessarily over abundant.
